Unripe Strawberry
June 18, 2014
Savoring the raw sweetness
filling my mouth,
I continued to cherish
the ripened strawberry,
but as I inched forward,
it got more bland,
then even a little
sour.
But I kept on eating,
hoping that it'd turn
sweet again,
so it could be just like
that unforgettable
first bite,
yet
it never did;
it just dwindled,
and now I'm nauseous
because it was
so rotten
in the end.

Yet another well done peice from Rosie! I love this one, hmm, maybe I'll eat more strawberries!
And then you're nauseous with heartbreak.
